Alright, so I have scrapped together a 720p reconstruction of the new 16mm release (fantastic work, guys) using the blu-ray and csd79's LD cleanup (upscaled with infognition SR plugin), synced pretty much on a frame by frame basis to the 16mm. I say pretty much, because there are added and dropped frames here and there, which I've duplicated/deleted (in one case by 'rate extended' surrounding frames). But each shot start/stop at least matches the 16mm 100%, I think. I believe all shots are 'unspecialized' now.

There is one scene that is not fully represented in the two video sources I used: when SEN talks to the kids, there is 30-60 seconds of footage where the kids are being playful and talking. It is (partially?) on the Italian cut, so I can see if I can make that screwy 4:3 footage work, but probably not. At the moment, there is a small bit of cropped 16mm footage in an otherwise color film. :P

If AntcuFaalb is okay with it (due to that footage and the soundtrack), I could send it to anyone interested in watching or giving feedback. There is still a lot of color correction to be done. Mostly un-blueing the blu-ray and matching the LD for shots that need to cut back and forth between sources a lot. Thanks to age for his SW bluray LUT. It actually works well on dark scenes that are too blue in THX.
